Welcome to this important interview where Yves Pepito Malette sits down with Marcela Gurdian, a renowned immigration lawyer and expert in Costa Rica.

After hearing alarming reports from future expats being denied residency, Pepito went directly to her office in San José to get to the bottom of what's happening with certain new dispositions.

There's growing frustration among those looking to make Costa Rica their new home, as recent changes by the immigration department have revoked the right to appeal residency refusals — a decision that some experts say is not legally binding.

In this transparent and candid conversation, Marcela sheds light on why the immigration department seems to take three steps forward and four steps back in resolving what is now seen as a case overload crisis.
She offers insights into the new, unilateral internal rules and the challenges future immigrants face, helping us all understand the current state of immigration in Costa Rica.
